About the Item

18th century Italian cross with a fluorite heart and crucifix-shaped baroque pearl on an aquamarine-colored base. The cross originally came from a historical church in Venice. The hand-carved aquamarine-painted base is the original base of the cross. It is adorned with the fluorite heart and baroque pearl to symbolize the love of God. Together, the natural specimens transforms the cross into a figurative work of art. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian cross is originally 18th century. The Italian cross is preserved and transformed into a figurative, contemporary work of art. With the combination of organic elements, the church artifact becomes a sculptural work of historic and organic significance.
